Is this really from closing the trunk? i ALWAYS close my trunk gently, and my corners are really fucked up! I was thinking, maybe the spolier had enough downforce to make it touch and road vibrations made it rub? Body flex? maybe im in denial. All I know is that its gonna take alot of touch up paint to fix my trunk!

I had the dealer re-align my trunk..........it's a 2001 and the panel fit was less than spectacular. All's well now......after the touch up paint of course.
